StyleMatch GA Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 6, 2026

StyleMatch GA (“StyleMatch,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a marketplace and workforce coordination platform that helps salons and beauty professionals connect, manage professional opportunities, bookings, mission activity, payments, and related marketplace services.

1. Information we collect

• Account information: name, email address, phone number, hashed password credentials, account role, authentication and security information.
• Professional profile information: business or display name, biography, specialties, experience, availability, rates, service area, profile photos, salon photos, and portfolio images.
• Jobs, applications, missions, and bookings: job details, schedules, Labor Pay amounts, applications, direct requests, bookings, cancellations, check-ins, no-shows, free Emergency Replacement activity, completed mission history, and related operational records.
• Location information: precise or approximate location when needed for nearby-job matching, distance calculations, salon location validation, mission check-in verification, or free Emergency Replacement matching. StyleMatch GA does not continuously track a Stylist’s location in the background for these features.
• Marketplace activity: notifications, reviews, Reliability events, reports, disputes, support messages, moderation information, proof-of-work submissions, and audit history.
• Payment and billing information: Labor Pay amounts, service line items, payment requests, payment method selections, payment status, Pay As You Go platform-fee records, Stripe Checkout references, and Stripe Connect status.
• Technical information: device type, operating system, platform, app version, IP address, push tokens, timestamps, authentication events, diagnostic information, and server/application logs.

2. Location privacy

A Stylist’s precise private coordinates are not intended to be displayed to Salons. Location may be used for distance matching, nearby mission discovery, mission check-in verification, and other location-dependent marketplace features. StyleMatch GA does not continuously track a Stylist’s location in the background for these features.

3. Images and Proof of Work

Profile photos, salon photos, and portfolio images may be visible to other marketplace users where appropriate. Proof-of-Work images are associated with the relevant booking and may be used for mission verification, Labor Pay confirmation, support, dispute review, or marketplace integrity. Proof-of-Work images are not automatically added to a Stylist’s public portfolio.

4. Payments, subscriptions, and Stripe

Stripe provides payment-processing services used by StyleMatch GA. Depending on the payment flow, Stripe may process Pay As You Go platform fees and Salon-to-Stylist mission payments through Stripe Connect.

StyleMatch GA does not store complete payment card numbers on its own servers when payment details are processed by Stripe. Stripe may collect payment, banking, identity, tax, payout, fraud-prevention, or other information directly from users as necessary to provide Stripe or Stripe Connect services, subject to Stripe’s own privacy practices.

StyleMatch GA may retain transaction identifiers, payment status, amounts, Stripe account identifiers, Checkout session identifiers, and related marketplace records necessary to operate and document payments.

For supported external payment methods, users may also choose methods such as Cash, Cash App, or PayPal. StyleMatch GA may store payment preferences or payment handles voluntarily provided by the user.

5. How we use information

• Create, authenticate, secure, and manage accounts and profiles.
• Operate job discovery, matching, applications, direct requests, bookings, check-ins, and Proof of Work.
• Calculate and document Labor Pay and facilitate payment requests and payment processing.
• Manage Pay As You Go fees, payment-related marketplace features, and free Emergency Replacement workflows.
• Send notifications and provide customer support.
• Investigate reports, disputes, fraud, misuse, abuse, and security events.
• Maintain Reliability and marketplace-integrity systems.
• Troubleshoot, improve, and protect the service.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce agreements and marketplace rules.

6. How we share information

We may share information with other StyleMatch GA users when necessary for authorized marketplace interactions; with service providers that support hosting, databases, file storage, email, push notifications, maps/geocoding, analytics, security, application distribution, payment processing, and subscription billing; with Stripe for payment, payout, connected-account, refund, identity-verification, and fraud-prevention services; or when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect users, the service, rights, property, or safety.

StyleMatch GA does not sell personal information to advertisers.

7. Notifications

StyleMatch GA may send notifications concerning applications, applicant decisions, bookings, direct requests, mission changes, check-ins, Proof of Work, payment requests and confirmations, emergency replacements, reports, account activity, security, billing and other relevant marketplace events. Important underlying booking, payment, mission, application, or marketplace information may remain available in the appropriate section of StyleMatch GA even after a notification is opened or cleared.

8. Data security

We use reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical safeguards designed to protect user information, including authenticated access, secure credential handling, access controls, operational logging, and payment processing through specialized providers such as Stripe. No internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.

9. Data retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate StyleMatch GA, maintain marketplace and transaction records, complete payments, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, protect users, maintain accounting and audit records, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations.

Some booking, transaction, payment, Reliability, support, dispute, moderation, fraud-prevention, security, and audit records may be retained after account deletion where reasonably necessary. Where appropriate, retained records may be minimized, anonymized, or pseudonymized.

10. Account and data deletion

Users may initiate account deletion inside StyleMatch GA under Profile → Account & Data → Delete account.

Users who cannot access the application may also submit an account-deletion request through the official web resource at https://stylematchapp.us/delete-account/.

When an account is deleted, personal information that is no longer required is deleted, erased, anonymized, or de-identified as appropriate. This may include contact information, public profile information, profile photos, portfolio content, location information, payment handles, push-notification tokens, preferences, private account settings, and other personal information that is no longer required.

Deletion may require completion or cancellation of active marketplace commitments before the account can be fully removed.

Certain records may be retained where reasonably necessary for completed bookings, payments and accounting, fraud prevention, security, legal compliance, dispute resolution, moderation, marketplace integrity, or auditing.

11. Your privacy rights

Depending on applicable law, users may have rights to request access to certain personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of personal information, or additional information regarding how personal information is processed. We may need to verify account ownership or identity before processing certain requests.

12. Children’s privacy

StyleMatch GA is intended for professional marketplace participation and is not designed for children. Users must meet applicable age and legal requirements to use the service. StyleMatch GA does not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

13. U.S. state privacy rights

Users in certain U.S. states may have additional rights under applicable state privacy laws. Where applicable, StyleMatch GA will process valid privacy requests consistent with those laws.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as StyleMatch GA evolves. Material changes may be communicated through the application, website, or another appropriate method. The effective date shown at the top identifies the latest revision.
